Сказка Story

Were in the hotel in September 2006 - super. The hotel itself conquers with its unusualness (in oriental style it is sustained - very beautifully). We rested as a family -3 people and the usual room was cramped for us -changed to a family -just a fairy tale -spacious, clean, even on the bed, made of blankets, swans. They cleaned every day, changed towels, even left extra ones; there was water in the refrigerator all the time - 4 bottles, and parents brought ordinary, even Pepsi and Fanta to the room, apparently the cleaners liked them...... or, unlike most Germans, they left a dollar for cleaning...... Indeed, there are many Germans in the hotel, and English speakers....personally, I consider this a plus....and the service does not deteriorate, as is usually the case in hotels that switch to a Russian-speaking direction and, for example, my 5-year-old daughter, English-speaking children gave a huge motivation for further learning English and liberated her in communication even at the level that she has now.......and these are not so many phrases.
The hotel has a beautiful main pool - in the mornings there plays a saxophone - it wakes you up, but so unobtrusively and beautiful.......aqua gymnastics twice a day, water volleyball. guys animators on the water - well done there are 4 of them (3 guys and a girl), and in the morning a girl like the usual relax gymnastics conducts. Pool bar and water bar. In addition to the main pool, there are 4 more pools in the courtyards and a children's pool on the playground.
There is the usual animation, but we have never been there - there were enough emotions and impressions for the day. Show - "A Thousand and One Nights" twice a week in Russian (it was on Friday and Sunday), but what is there to listen to....only a brief history of Egypt . . , and all the dances are any language . . : ))) We have a number, a family, went on stage... and every evening we watched this show in different languages ​ ​ u200bu200b...... we were subdued by a twisting dervish... And the performances were not repeated.......For those living in hotel - admission every day is free.....

In the evenings, at the fish bar, the girl sings world hits - you can dance, which my daughter did, or you can smoke shisha (hookah, they call it that)....The girl sings great.......Live music, you are almost lying in armchairs, shisha and a black starry sky - what else do you need for happiness...... : )))))) They also brew amazing oriental coffee nearby.
The meeting party, yes TEZ-TOUR, but this hotel is supervised by Samer, an excellent guy..... he solves all problems...... , to the point that they didn’t activate the mobile local card at the time... somewhere then he called - they immediately turned everything on.......By the way, he doesn’t take money for his services, and if you shove him, then you have to try for a very long time....: )))))) You can also bargain for excursions with him , and it is not necessary to buy them on the first day, as he says..... Samer is simply a miracle....and not yet married. : ))))
There are shopping arcades near the hotel... , at the very end of the series... there is a travel agency..... , Russian-speaking Olga sits there (a Muslim woman, so the clothes match, but in Russian, without an accent) They also took a safari to desert on quad bikes and through it rented a yacht with a diving instructor - everything was perfectly organized. On the yacht, they dived, and fished, and just danced and rested. Olga - thank you very much.
We went to Cairo on our own, because what everyone offers is very small and everyone is running......., to see the pyramids as much as you want, you wanted.......Therefore, the child stayed with his parents in the hotel, and we my husband and I boarded a regular bus from Elguna Transportation in Hurghada (a ticket costs 70 pounds) and after 5 hours we were in Cairo....We left at night to catch everything in a day...... The bus offers tea, coffee and give croissants - (included in the ticket price). We took a taxi in Cairo...... The taxi driver drove us all day and waited everywhere... -30 dollars paid (it was possible not to do it - there are sooooo many taxi drivers - the competition is fierce - you can take a taxi everywhere at any point in Cairo (-bargain We were at the Pyramids, in the Cairo Museum for 1.5 hours wandered - many Russian-speaking groups - you can listen, or you can take a personal guide - offers the sea. Were at the zoo - excursions are not taken there - but there are such crocodiles, turtles and hippos are a fairy tale. . . And considering that hippos are my weakness, I was delighted. My husband fed the hippopotamus and stroked it. By the way, any animal there, for baksheesh, respectively, you can feed, ride..... - all anything for your money. Entrance to the zoo costs 25 piastres!!! ! and there you pay separately for entrance to reptiles and someone else (also a penny). You can have a good bite and safe for the Russian stomach, almost in European Pizza Huts. The food is excellent and the service is on the level... and in the evening we went to Khan Khalili...... peculiar impressions........ This is a must see......

Cairo itself, I can’t say that I liked it very much, a rather dirty city, a noisy and frantic number of cars and everyone is buzzing - you get tired..... after Cairo, Hurghada seemed to us a quiet paradise... : ))))))
The service at the hotel is at the level..... For me personally, at my request, they brought freshly squeezed orange juice not only in the morning, but also in the evening... There is simply a reverent attitude towards children...... My daughter still just raves about Africa...... There were no special problems , but all the little things - (we don’t have enough water, especially after an excursion on quad bikes to the desert - we drank a lot after it), - are solved instantly (brought a box of water, good guys)  )) And if even with them at least in English you say..... , then, there are no problems at all, because, well, they still don’t know Russian so well... Leila is an oriental hotel with all oriental features and European service. Fairy tale for real....
